  • This may be termed the “common threaded bar embodiment”.
  • the other embodiment is the embodiment in which there are separate threaded bars for the actuator/actuators 10 of the rider roll beam 9 and the actuator/actuators 11 of the support beam 6 a and this embodiment may be termed the “separate threaded bar embodiment”.
  • In the common threaded bar embodiment there may be two separate threaded bars on each side of the winder as indicated in FIG. 4 , i.e. a total of four threaded bars 15 .
  • threaded bar 15 it would be possible to use only one threaded bar 15 on each side although two threaded bars (as shown in FIG. 4 ) is preferable since it gives better control. In the separate threaded bar embodiment, there may be four threaded bars on each side of the winder, i.e. a total of eight threaded bars 15 .
  • the actuators 10 , 11 could also take other forms.
  • they may be hydraulic cylinders or any other kind of actuator that can move the support beam 6 a and the rider roll beam 9 .
  • the rider roll 8 and the chucks 6 and thereby also the core shaft 5 can be caused to act against the web roll 2 and subject the web roll 2 to forces.
  • the rider roll 8 can be pressed more or less against the growing web roll 2 which causes a force F R to act against the web roll 2 (see FIG. 2 ).
  • the core shaft 5 can, through movement of the chucks 6 , be made to act on the growing web roll 2 with a force F C which may have a direction which is opposite to the direction of the force F R from the rider roll.
  • lifting the carrier chucks 6 can relieve pressure from the web roll 2 against the support rolls 3 , 4 .
  • the rider roll 9 can be moved independently of the core shaft 5 , the nip force F R between the rider roll 8 and the web roll 2 may be controlled and varied independently which may be desirable in many practical applications.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates, schematically, how the web roll 2 has a first size/diameter at the time t 1 .
  • the diameter of the web roll 2 grows and at the time t 2 , the diameter has increased.
  • the radius is shown as “X” and it can be seen how the radius of the web roll has the radius X 1 at the point in time t 1 and how the radius has grown to X 2 at the point in time t 2 .
  • the core shaft 5 and the rider roll 8 must be moved away from the support rolls 3 , 4 as the web roll 2 grows. Since the core shaft 5 is located at the middle of the web roll 2 and the rider roll 8 at the upper surface of the web roll 2 , the rider roll 8 must obviously move more than the core shaft. It should be noted that this movement would normally be a vertical movement and is indicated as such in the figures but embodiments are conceivable in which this would not necessarily be the case.
  • FIG. 7 a basic control loop for the logic control unit 14 is explained.
  • a set desired value for the nip force F 1 , F 2 between the support rolls 3 , 4 and the web roll 2 is fed into the logic control system.
  • the load cells 12 , 13 transmit signals representing the actual values for the force with which the rider roll 8 acts against the web roll 2 and the force with which the core shaft 5 acts against the web roll 2 .
  • a given machine speed i.e. a speed of the fibrous web is fed into the logic control unit.
  • This speed is represented by arrow WS in FIG. 7 .
  • a given web thickness represented by arrow WT is also fed to the logic control unit 14 .
  • basis weight of the fibrous web i.e. grams per square meter
  • the logic control unit 14 is able to calculate continuously the diameter of the web roll 2 and also the weight of the web roll 2 .
  • the logic control unit 14 can send signals to the actuators 10 , 11 and cause them to be activated to move the rider roll 8 and the core shaft 5 to fit their positions to the changing diameter of the web roll 2 .
  • the load cells 12 , 13 send signals representing the actual forces F R and F C with which the rider roll 8 a and the core shaft 5 act on the web roll 2 .
  • the logic control unit 14 can now calculate the weight of the web roll 2 and thereby also the force of gravity F W (see FIG. 2 ) emanating from the weight of the web roll 2 and which acts in a direction towards the support rolls 3 , 4 .
  • the logic control unit can now compare the sum of the forces F R , F C and F W according to the simple formula F R +F W ⁇ F C that should match the desired nip forces F 1 and F 2 between the web roll 2 and the support rolls 3 , 4 .
  • the nip forces F 1 , F 2 do not normally act in exactly the same plane as the forces resulting from the rider roll 8 , the core shaft 5 and the weight of the web roll 2 and account has to be taken of the force components acting in the same plane as the forces F R , F C and F W . Since this is a question of basic mathematics well known to the skilled person, no detailed discussion of this aspect is needed.
  • the logic control unit 14 finds that there is a deviation, i.e. that the forces F R , F C and F W do not match the nip forces F 1 and F 2 , the logic control system 14 will take correcting action. For example, if the logic control system determines that the sum of the forces F R , F C and F W acting on the web roll is greater than it should be to match the set nip forces F 1 and F 2 for the nips N 1 and N 2 , (see FIG. 2 ), the logic control system 14 will conclude that the nip forces N 1 and N 2 are above the set value.
  • the logic control system 14 can then correct this by ordering the actuator(s) 11 to move the chucks 6 (and thereby the core shaft 5 ) in a direction away from the support rolls 3 , 4 to relieve the nips N 1 and N 2 such that the nip forces F 1 and F 2 decrease.
  • the actuator(s) 10 can be activated by the logic control unit 14 to move the rider roll 8 away from the support rolls 3 , 4 (vertically upwards in the figures) such that the force from the rider roll 8 against the web roll 2 decreases.
  • the logic control system 14 move both the rider roll 8 and the core shaft 5 away from the support rolls 3 , 4 to reduce the nip forces between the web roll 2 and the support rolls 3 , 4 until the set value for the forces F 1 and F 2 has been reached.
  • the logic control system 14 will conclude that the nip forces N 1 and N 2 are below the set value. This can be counteracted by, for example, ordering the actuator(s) 10 to move the rider roll 8 downwards towards the support rolls 3 , 4 to increase the nip forces F 1 , F 2 between the web roll 2 and the support rolls 3 , 4 .
  • the logic control unit 14 could order the actuator(s) 11 to move the core shaft 5 towards the support rolls 3 , 4 until the readings from the load cells 12 , 13 indicate that the set value for the nip forces F 1 , F 2 between the web roll 2 and the support rolls 3 , 4 has been reached.
  • FIG. 8 a different control loop for the logic control unit 14 is illustrated. It may happen that the given value for web thickness is incorrect. In such cases, the actual diameter of the web roll 2 will not be what the logic control unit 14 has calculated. However, the logic control unit 14 that controls movement of the core shaft 5 and the rider roll 8 will know the actual position of the core shaft 5 and the rider roll 8 (since it controls their position). Therefore, the logic control unit 14 will also expect that the force readings from the load cells 12 , 13 are within certain limits and will notice deviations. For example, if the thickness of the fibrous web is higher than the assumed value that has been fed to the logic control unit, the force reading from the load cell 12 will be higher than it ought to be which will generate an error.
  • the signal from the PID unit is not simply fed directly to the actuator control but also to the block unit indicated PID thk. If the signal fed to the unit PID thk indicates an error, this unit will recalculate the thickness value into a calculated thickness value CWT. The new thickness value CWT is then sent further such that a new functional value can be used in the processing. The logic control unit 14 can then continue to operate based on the new value for web thickness.
  • the logic control unit 14 is thus programmed to calculate an expected value for the force between the rider roll 8 and the web roll 2 and an expected value for the force with which the carrier chucks act on the core shaft 5 which expected force values are based on the calculated diameter of the web roll 2 .
  • the logic control unit can then recalculate the value of the web thickness if the measured force values deviate from the expected values.
